Hawk at our window

For some reason, a sharp-shinned hawk wanted to get inside today and twice tried to grab

at an outer frame in the window. We have a bird feeder nearby, but this wasn’t a grab for a particular bird. Did it see its reflection? I have no idea. It paused on the deck railing, so Henry used his camera to shoot through the glass. One snap and it was off and gone without a meal. We thought it was a Cooper’s Hawk at first, but now think sharp-shinned is what it was.
